WBEL-rc2 installation.

I can't seem to be able to make redhat-config-packages install a new
package.  For example, I tried to install "sendmail-cf", and after
selecting it via the gui, it craps out with these 2 errors:

* header for sendmail-cf-8.12.10-1.i386.rpm has no disc location tag,
* assuming it's on the current CD
The file /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/sendmail-cf-8.12.10-1.i386.rpm cannot be
opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media.
Press <return> to try again.


The error message seems to be hinting that the rpms should contain a
"disc location tag" to tell redhat-config-packages which of the 3
installation CD to ask the user to insert in his/her CD-rom drive to
complete the installation.
